Genesis 35:9-15

9After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.

10God said to him, “Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel.” So he named him Israel.

11And God said to him, “I am God Almighty; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will be among your descendants.

12The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.”

13Then God went up from him at the place where he had talked with him.

14Jacob set up a stone pillar at the place where God had talked with him, and he poured out a drink offering on it; he also poured oil on it.

15Jacob called the place where God had talked with him Bethel.
